The celebrating isn't over yet for newlyweds Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who tied the knot on Sunday. A post-wedding reception hosted by the groom's parents – Seryl and Charles Kushner, a New Jersey real-estate developer – was held Wednesday night at the historic Puck Building in New York City.
"It was really beautiful in there," the bride's brother, Eric Trump, 25, told PEOPLE as he was leaving the party. "[They are a] very beautiful couple."
Guests referred to the party as Sheva Brachot, which is a special Jewish wedding blessing usually accompanied by a meal – in this case, a variety of kosher food, as well as hamburgers, hotdogs, steak sandwiches, sushi and salad.

Originally posted 10/26/2009 07:10PM
Tennis player Mark Philippoussis has scored love with actress Jennifer Esposito: The couple are planning to marry, PEOPLE has learned.
"They are happily engaged and enjoying their time together," his rep says.
Esposito, 36, a New York native, and the Australian tennis star, 32, were engaged this summer.
Philippoussis previously starred on the NBC reality dating show The Age of Love, in which he was asked to choose between women in their 20s and women in their 40s competing for his attention – the "kittens" vs. the "cougars." He ended up picking "kitten" Amanda Salinas. At the time, he described himself as "a simple guy who wants a simple girl."
Esposito, who has appeared on Samantha Who?, Rescue Me and in the movie Crash, was previously married to actor Bradley Cooper. A rep for the actress had no comment on her engagement.

Her character Peggy Olson might be stifling in a 1960s atmosphere of sexism and repression but Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss has something to crack a big smile about: The actress married Saturday Night Live funnyman Fred Armisen on Sunday, her rep confirms.
The two wed in front of friends and family at The Foundry in Long Island City, New York.
In August, the pair said they were aiming for a simple, "medium-sized" wedding, and that Moss, 27, would be wearing a Claire Pettibone dress. "It was actually the only and first designer I ever wanted," said Moss. "I just thought [the dresses] were really beautiful."

When Stephen Moyer proposed marriage to his True Blood costar Anna Paquin, he looked to his onscreen vampire character, Bill Compton, for a little inspiration.
"There's a song Bill listens to in the car about a white sandy beach," Moyer tells British Glamour magazine in its November issue. "So we decided to go away for a break – to a white sandy beach – and that's where it happened."
Moyer, 39, and Paquin, 27, managed to keep their off-screen romance a secret on the set until an awkward love scene forced the actor to do the honorable thing and 'fess up.
